Night guards can also help reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
The first step towards getting a night guard is a comprehensive consultation and examination by Dr. Charles Poblenz. During this appointment, he will assess your oral health, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether a night guard is the best solution for you. He may also take X-rays or perform other diagnostic tests to rule out other dental issues.
Once it's decided that a night guard is the right solution for you, the next step is taking dental impressions. This is a quick and painless process where a soft material is placed over your teeth to create an exact mold of your bite. This mold is then sent to a dental lab where your custom night guard will be made.
The final step is the fitting. Once your night guard is ready, you'll come back to JAX Dental Studios for a fitting. Dr. Poblenz will ensure that the guard fits perfectly, make any necessary adjustments, and provide you with instructions on how to care for your night guard at home.
Sometimes your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. This is called an overbite, and this occurs in most people. It becomes a problem when the overbite is too large. If you have too deep a bite, your teeth may wear down or you could suffer from jaw pain. Invisalign can fix an overbite or deep bite, and get your teeth in a healthier position.
By preventing teeth grinding and clenching, night guards can also improve your sleep quality. They help to relax your jaw muscles, reducing the likelihood of waking up due to discomfort or pain. Some people also find that night guards help reduce snoring, providing a more restful night's sleep for both them and their partners.
Chronic teeth grinding and clenching can lead to other health issues like headaches, facial pain, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). By addressing the root cause of these problems, night guards can help prevent these health issues and improve your overall wellbeing.
Custom-made night guards are more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter options.
